A Secret Refuge series, by Lauraine Snelling10.Refiners Fire series, by Lynn Austin11.Sitka, by Louis Lamour (a lot of his books more than once)12.Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden.13.Nightmares and Dreamscapes (short stories), by Stephen King.This is just a sample of what I have and do read. I was looking at my book case and got the idea for this post. Of course I could go on, but who reading this couldn't do the same. We love bookworms!!!!

The Hobbit is the only thing on here I've read more than once.I do want to read LOTR again, though.I barely got through the Left Behind series. No desire to read again.I read This Present Darkness and had no desire to read more. Although I did read The Oath, just because it was there.

I would like to read some LaMoure ( don't know how to spell that)And dad has loaned me some Hillerman books, but I've not read any. I guess I will.

I've read the Odd Thomas books except for the new one. I'm waiting to read the next book in the Frankenstein series by Koontz. I think it was supposed to be out in 2007, but now it's going to be 2009. Years ago I read LOTR probably 6-8 times. I've read the Little House on the Prairie Books that many times too. I've read many of Stephen Kings' books but I don't read them much anymore. Tony Hillerman is one of my favorite authors. I've read a few Louis Lamour books and a few of Larry McMurtry's (of Lonesome Dove fame--although I haven't read that particular series). Right now I'm reading a book called "Quilt of Words" about the diaries and letters from about the 1880s. Very interesting.
